From the outside, celebrities appear to have lives of glitz and glamor. The spotlight shines down on them, and everything is wonderful. This podcast, Vulnerable with Christy Carlson Romano, follows the journey of a former actress. From the outside, her life looked great. In reality, however, things are not as they seem on TV. The open, honest conversations shared here give listeners a more realistic picture of stardom. That is not a bad thing, though.

Podcast host Christy Carlson Romano is a well-known actor. She started her career onstage when she was six years old. She starred in several Disney Channel shows as a teenager. From Even Stevens (as Ren Steven) to Kim Possible, she has had a successful career that seemed easy to achieve. The reality is far from this assumption. In Vulnerable with Christy Carlson Romano, the host details the truth behind her fame. She talks about child actors and what they face. It was not a quick success. The journey had failure, setbacks, and letdowns. In fact, she still experiences such things. She notes that those things are part of being human.

In most shows, Christy has a guest. Most of them are child stars or former child stars. Max Casella talks about growing up in public. Ireland Baldwin shares what it was like to have two famous parents. Mara Wilson discusses her life now. But on one powerful episode in 2022, Christy had no guest. Instead, she talked about Aaron Carter's recent death. And she referenced her own battles with addiction. She had booked the troubled singer to be on her show before he died.

Christy is unafraid to get personal on the podcast. Her guests share this openness. From close friends to fellow celebrities, the featured guests bring expertise and insight. New episodes of Vulnerable with Christy Carlson Romano debut every Tuesday. The podcast episodes are around an hour long.
